Profile America — Saturday, December 22nd. Millions of bleary-eyed Americans who stumble around in the morning owe a lot to someone they never heard of — James H. Nason of Franklin, Massachusetts. This month in 1865, he received a patent for a coffee percolator, making it much easier to brew just the right cup of coffee to get started in the morning. Now, not only does just about every home in the U.S. have a coffee maker but many also grind their own fresh from coffee beans. Millions of Americans enjoy coffee all during the day and depend on the nation's 19,000 coffee shops to brew just the right cup of regular, decaf, latte or espresso to keep them going. Those shops sell more than $10 billion worth of coffee annually. You can find more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.
